A camouflaged car looking to be the next-generation Lexus LS has been spotted in Southern California:

Of course, with the nowstandard Lexus camouflage covering up everything, there isn’t all that much to look at — here’s a zoomed-in look at the front-end:

Along with the hint of the L-LED daytime running lights, we can see the basic shape of the spindle grille — given the slats in the grille, it would appear this is the standard or hybrid LS, not the F Sport version that’s already been teased:

With this prototype out on public roads, this is sure to be the first of many photos out there — hopefully we get a closer look shortly.

Okay so when you look at the very bottom one (the one we've all seen before) the lights may be the future of Lexus F. Not F-Sport. This could be a Lexus LS-F and remember that modified Lexus LS TMG Edition testing? Here's the link

From the rumors, it will be come with a V6 Hybrid.

Something like a LS450h which can be offered in multiple markets. With this focus on fuel efficiency and small engine, this leaves a void in performance, possibly where LS-F can sit. But there also nothing wrong with offering a LS450h and LS600h (that they already have).
On a side note. Is it just me or does the images from Lexus LS TMG edition have LED DRLs. I thought the LS never got this upgrade, and it is on all new models/mules.

I thought it's just Lexus GS450h , but after saw high res picture of Lexus GS450h again , I confirm that's a Lexus LS .

I see theyve made the grille appear more as one large grille rather than the split done on the GS. Personally like it better that way! Cant wait to see how it looks! My only fear being that every Lexus begins to look like a CT...but I have faith in Lexus!

Ughhh wassup with those small tiny wheels ?
Come on Lexus get the factory wheel game right ! Stop putting huge side walls and small width on big sedans.
But beside that im sure the body of this is going to look nice and so goes for the inside.

High side walls & smaller width made better fuel consumption with a much better ride comfort , not to mention it's also lighter for the engine to pull ... if there's a model like LS350 or LS400h , it would be ideal .

Can one really call it a 2013 model? It's likely Lexus might play the skip-a-year game, like they did with the LX facelift and call it a 2014 model. If not that, sell the current gen as a 2013 model this fall and then usher it out in the first quarter of 2013/second fiscal quarter.
